Ok so I just got this new KICK ASS laptop and am trying to build up my repretoire of programs, apps, wallpapers and such. Can I get some opinions on some stuff. Like best browser and attachments. Uhhh I don't know If im making myself clear but If you understand I would like some help. i like to do basically anything because its on a computer. i have minecraft of course, and photoshop and flash. Also, can someone tell me how to make a background that alternates pictures because I have ssen them on vids before. Thank you.
Well, it depends on what you want to do with your computer. Cnet has a pretty decent article about this, and the good thing is, you can download everything from there.
Well, for music I use Winamp. I use VLC and for watching movies, and DVD Shrink for ripping them. I also use Virtual Clone as a virtual HD-DVD drive. I use Firefox as my browser, with noscript, web of trust, and xmarks. I have MS Office only because my computer came with it, otherwise it would be Open Office. And I use Steam to manage my games. I have Avast as my antivirus.
Thanks but I kind of want to do anything and everything. What do you have and ill see if im interested.

I have a **** load of games. If I include the ones that aren't installed, about a hundred.
I like strategy games, turn based mostly. Master of Orion II and X-Com UFO Defense are my favorites right now. But I'm not going to give you a comprehensive list of my games.
Ok thanks. Now thank you for your help. If people will help please help but I dont want to be called a newfag or trolled. I just wanted help from ther computer users on opinions on what new things I should get on my computer.

All links pulled from the obvious menu on the left of the page xDragon linked to n-n
These should encompass most programs you'll need, and as for wallpapers, simply using google should suffice :3

Oh ok. Thanks. I now have a specific question. Once I saw a video where a guy had a browser called like "water- something" it was supposed to be like firefox. Does anybody know what this is and does it work well and where can I get it.
ok, than I am using VLC 1.1.7 for music, DVD shrink for ripping them. And sometime I also used Virtual drive. And specially browser that is Firefox 3.6, and Google Chrome is the best for you. Ms office 2007-2010 both are very good.
And specially anti virus I preferred Avast. This all are all time greate.
What kinda budget do you have? Or do you want freeware/shareware programs? OR do you do this THE OTHER WAY, you know... PB
Anyway that gets the job done but preferably freeware or open source and stuff. IF necessary I do it the OTHER WAY. And thanks for the braille translator my brother is blind.
Better website for wallpapers: Wallbase. Google it, it's seriously awesome.
As for other things, I'd recommend both Rainmeter and Rocketdock for making your desktop functional and pretty.
